Chocolate Fudge Cupcakes

Moist and rich chocolate fudge cupcakes made from scratch with a fudgy crumb and topped with chocolate fudge frosting.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 cup buttermilk
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup boiling water

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Whisk until combined.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together buttermilk, oil, egg, and vanilla extract.
  4. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and whisk until smooth and fully incorporated.
  5. Slowly add the boiling water to the batter and whisk until fully combined.
  6. Using an ice cream scoop, divide the batter into the lined muffin cups until each is about 3/4 full.
  7. Bake at 350 degrees F for 14-16 minutes or until the cupcakes spring back when lightly touched.
  8. Cool completely before frosting with chocolate fudge frosting.

Notes

The boiling water creates a moist and fudgy texture in these cupcakes. Do not overbake or the cupcakes may become dry. A toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean with no wet batter, though a few moist crumbs are acceptable.
